I have a ThinkPad 560X and painted the top lid black gloss like my SL500 is and bought the silver lenovo logo and new THINKPAD logo badge. would there be a way to add the red dot on the "i" lightup? I think this would make it look very nice for an old laptop. http://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thinkpad_sl300_01.jpg

I remember a long time ago on my ThinkPad 560X I had a floppy disk where I was able to change the easy setup ThinkPad background. It was part of the software from IBM on the laptop folder where configration would be.

I'm thinking of adding the new ThinkPad logo to some of my older ThinkPads like what you seen in my image of my 560X above is link on this forum.

Oh. Maybe you are right. I haven't seen either of these things before (custom Easy Setup or custom BIOS boot screen. But re-sellers may have access to special (and not permitted to share) versions of configuration disks that may allow some branding to be done on various screens. I don't know about these things, and can't help you there.

You would download load it from IBM.com or lenovo.com now. The software would ask you to insert a 1.44MB disk in drive A:. If I remember you would have to restart it and it would load from the floppy. You could edit the what easy setup is on all old ThinkPads The tilt ThinkPads lettering in Microsoft paint and save it to the IBM disk.

I had to install Windows 95 "14 Floppy Set" to get started with installing Windows XP on it since I had no CD Drive at the time.Its a good idea to own the Windows 95 on floppy for older computers that never came with a CD Drive.
